Terrain Generator

Name is subject to change

Requirements

• QT5
  • Install on Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S qt5-base
• Nodeeditor (included locally)
  • Install: git clone https://github.com/paceholder/nodeeditor.git
• Qmake (should be included with QT)
• Make (built in with Linux, included with MingGW)

Installing 3rd party libraries

Nodeeditor

NOTE: In order to fix a couple graphical problems with the nodeeditor library (at the cost of performance for large files) a couple of lines need to be commented out in the source code before being built:

lib/nodeeditor/src/FlowView.cpp

Line 47

-setCacheMode(QGraphicsView::CacheBackground);
+// setCacheMode(QGraphicsView::CacheBackground);

lib/nodeeditor/src/NodeGraphicsObject.cpp

Line 38

-setCacheMode( QGraphicsItem::DeviceCoordinateCache );
+// setCacheMode( QGraphicsItem::DeviceCoordinateCache );

Performance should not dwindle until large dataflow diagrams are being used.
